Sweet Child of Mine

Check out Camille and Kennerly, the Harp Twins. Brilliant and bizarre
at the same time. I'm surprised at how good Sweet Child of Mine sounds
on the harp. Maybe there's more to Guns 'N Roses than Axl Rose's snarl.

I found this video while researching the harp, which my daughter has decided that she wants to play. The
harp, it turns out, is a close cousin to the ancient lyre and one of the
world's oldest instruments, dating back to ancient Mesopotamia.

Plus there's Harpo Marx, one of my daughter's inspirations for taking up the instrument. She loves Marx Brothers movies.

Funny thing about Harpo, as hilarious as he is, he's always dead serious when he plays the harp.
